The pick, which the manatee makes by swimming to his team of choice's photo on his tank, has also divided Buffett's manatee family. His half-brother, Hugh, chose the Seahawks to win the game. Hugh has chosen correctly in four out of the last six Super Bowls.

Hugh and Buffett were born at the Miami Seaquarium and brought to the Mote Marine Laboratory in 1996.

The sea cows, touted as the world's most extensively trained manatees, are on display at the aquarium daily.
